Viewing architecture and city planning from the perspective of
developers is a significantly neglected theme in histories of art
and architecture. If mentioned at all, developers often figure as
adversaries of architects-their actions taken to be driven by
profit alone, with little regard for aesthetic or social factors.
Yet it was often developers-with their resolute entrepreneurial
spirit and creative drive-who made it possible for architectural
ideas to be realized at all. This book is dedicated to the
multifaceted actions of six selected developers who made decisive
and indispensable contributions to Berlin as it flourished to
become a world city. The compact essays about these men's life and
work aim to illustrate their far-reaching though largely unknown
impact on the cityscape and architecture of Berlin.
Die Berliner Architekturhistoriker Wolfgang Schache und David
Pessier untersuchen die bewegte Geschichte des an der prominenten
Ecke Unter den Linden / Charlottenstrasse gelegenen
Gebaudekomplexes, der heute von der Deutschen Bank genutzt wird.
Sie rekonstruieren die Herausbildung und Entwicklung dieses im 19.
Jahrhundert von der Disconto- Gesellschaft begrundeten,
traditionsreichen Bankenstandorts im Kontext der
Quartiersgeschichte der Dorotheenstadt, wobei der Fokus vor allem
auf die architekturhistorische Bedeutung des raumgreifenden
Ensembles gerichtet ist. Durch die chronologisch aufgebaute,
vielschichtige Betrachtung vermittelt sich auch ein zentrales
Kapitel der Berliner Bankengeschichte.
